Compact Monitors with Clear, Articulate Sound

The Sonodyne SM 100AK monitors defy the size/sound ratio! Sonodyne is an Indian company that has cemented its reputation as a leader in the hi-fi and pro-sumer arenas, crafting well-regarded turntables, speakers, and home electronics. With the SM 100AK, Sonodyne turns their focus toward studio monitors, and the results are impressive! With a 6.5" driver nestled inside an aluminum enclosure, the SM 100AK monitors deliver a clean, articulate sound that paints an accurate picture of what you're tracking or editing. The cabinet is magnetically shielded, so your video monitors will never interfere with your mixing. The woofer and tweeter are each driven by 120 total watts of power, giving them plenty of "oomph" for critical nearfield monitoring. When you hear how full your mixes sound through these beefy yet compact desktop monitors, you'll be blown away! Get yourself a pair of SM 100AK monitors today!

My experience was outstanding! I feel like I'm back in the 1950's when customer service was worth its weight in gold! I love the candy and personal phone call to acknowledge my order. You deliver the goods with superior efficiency, expediency and true concern for the customer.

I matched them up to my Event 2020 monitors and it made them sound muddy in comparison . Low end is great to. I'm looking forward to mixing with them ...

Sweetwater Advice

Chet Chambers
When we were searching for new monitors for one of our studios here at Sweetwater Productions, we had several criteria that had to be met: excellent resolution, even response, great definition, and clear stereo separation. When we heard the Sonodyne SM100AK, we knew that our search was over. The Sonodynes met and exceeded all of our demands and expectations — and at a price that was well within our budget, but with a sound that competes with much more expensive speakers. Simply put, these are great monitors! -- Chet Chambers, Studio Manager/Producer, Sweetwater Productions
